A member asked:

I have had a mole on my back for quite some time now and i have not worried about it but recently it has got much darker in color what do i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a dermatologist: "Mole" is not a medical diagnosis. A skin specialist is the person you need to define this and possibly deal with it.
